Once upon a time, one had to try hard to convince folks of the true intentions of the progressive socialist left, not anymore. The left in America is so emboldened that they feel empowered, and no longer hide who, and what, they are. One need only look at what is transpiring…
“A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie.” (USSR Communist leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin) “On the morrow of each conflict I gave the categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of weapons of every sort and kind.” (Italian Fascist Dictator…
Yes, I know many of us have been focused on the one “I” word, Iran. But, if there is anything we have come to learn about the progressive socialist left, they do the “Kansas City Shuffle” very well. That song is from the soundtrack of the movie “Lucky Number Slevin,”…
Their countries wanted them dead because of their ideas. You’ve probably heard of one – Jamal Khashoggi. His 2018 murder inside a Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey sparked international outrage and front page headlines. Khashoggi was a Washington Post columnist, and his brutal killing at the hands of Saudi government agents naturally sparked anger and a vociferous defense…
The answer is exemplified by the 1980 to 1988 Iran-Iraq War, where we allow, even encourage, the fanatics to kill each other, given their seemingly insatiable appetite for internecine warfare, preferably, without an American presence. It is a foreign policy based, not on altruism or quaint notions of “breaking the cycle…
Well, I guess y’all can surmise from the topic of this missive the identity of this week’s recipient of our Old School Patriot “Stuck on Stupid Saturday” recognition. Yes, our first of the new year, 2020, “Stuck on Stupid Saturday (SOSS)” award goes to the Ayatollah Khamenei, supreme leader of…
It is an ultra-conservative Sunni movement that seeks a global Islamic state. It has been banned in 13 countries, including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Germany and Turkey. But representatives of the group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) were welcomed recently by two of America’s largest Islamist groups at their annual joint convention. The group was…
According to the latest news reports, a US airstrike at Baghdad International Airport killed the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force unit, General Qasem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy head of the Iran-backed Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), a Shia paramilitary force made up of…
The aforementioned quote by Lenin aptly describes the propaganda machine of the progressive socialist left. In and of itself, socialism as an economic model cannot be advanced by way of truth. It relies upon deceit, false narratives, and outright lies such as, “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,”…
Ilhan Omar has referred to now dead Quds Force Commander General Qassim Suleimani, as a foreign official. Suleimani was the head of a designated Islamic terrorist organization. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. Omar is the same person who referred to 911 as “some people did something,” and has made…
If a recent article published by the Modern War Institute at West Point, “Don’t Let Kabul 2020 Look Like Saigon 1975: The Dangers of a Precipitous Afghanistan Withdrawal,” represents the prevailing American views on military strategy, then it goes a long way to explain why the United States lost the…
Greetings everyone, I pray y’all enjoyed a wonderful and blessed Christmas. As I sit here in my home in Garland, Texas, I realize that these are the final days of this decade. It has been an incredible 10 years for me, coming back from Afghanistan as a civilian/military adviser and…
